I bought a 2200 watt surge power 120/240 v generator not knowing that the full amperage of the generator (15amp) was not availible in 120v. Only 7.5 is availible, albeit you have two 7.5 amp circuits availible if you use one half of the 240 four prong outlet.
I would like to convert this generator to 120v only by combining the the windings in parallel. This would allow me to run a 15 amp load at 1800 watts. Ive been told to do this the two windings must be in phase to work properly. Can someone tell what this means and how I can check if the windings in my generator are in fact in phase? Thanks!
